Yves Gelinas of Cape Horn Marine Products was on the show yesterday, coming to us from his office on the Ottawa River in Quebec. Andy was in Sweden and Ryan in Pittsburgh, so it's the first three-country podcast! Yves is a wonderful guy, a solo...

It's been six weeks since Ryan and Andy had a conversation, so we took the chance earlier tonight to catch up. It's another guest-less podcast with the boys, and we discuss everything from David Byrne's book 'How Music Works', to 'Poo-a-mid Parker'...

When we first talked to Matt back in October - our second-ever episode! - his Ocean Research Project was just an idea. He was still riding high off of his Solo the America's expedition, but he wanted to shift gears and focus on something outside of...

Merry Christmas Redux! We're re-posting this one with a shorter intro at the front. Andy and Ryan sat down by the proverbial fireside and talked about stuff that Christmas reminds them of…that is, mostly movies and video games! SPOILER...

Andreas Hanakamp! For the sailors out there, Andreas is a two-time former Olympic sailor and the skipper of Team Russia in the 09/08 Volvo Ocean Race. And he's awesome! Andy first met him in the 2011 ARC rally, and got a chance to sit down with him...

Andy met Joe Reed at this year's Caribbean 1500 sailing rally. Joe works for Lockheed Martin, and was deeply involved with NASA in the Hubble project, training the astronauts on the ground while the men in space did the dirty work. Joe's career is...

Uncle Kenn really is Ryan's uncle. But he's so much more than that! He's a photographer - I'd say professional, he's say enthusiast - but his work speaks for itself. And his passion for it is extraordinary. Kenn grew up with a camera in his hands, and..

What a blast! Ryan and Andy sat in Ryan's girlfriend Kristen's guest room and talked for an hour! Well, it was more than that - we reminisced about our trip to Istanbul last spring, and told some stories about Andy's English 'mate' Clint (a very good...

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES! This one was published earlier today, but I re-posted it because the release date got messed up. It should appear now as the most recent episode. ANYWAY, Anna is one of Mia Karlsson's (Andy's wife) 'swim girls', whom she grew...

Episode #3 was with Anna Vinnars. Ryan and I pulled off an international three-way Skype conversation - Anna was in Malmö, on the Swedish west coast, I was in Stockholm (or just outside, in Dunderbo), and Ryan was in West Virginia. So that was...
